- FIG.2 PROCESS FOR FEEDING A LIQUID INTO A TURBULENT SECOND LIQUID Filed May 26, 1961 FIG.2
- the present invention relates to a novel process for feeding a liquid into a turbulent second liquid. More particularly, the invention is concerned with a novel process for introducing a liquid into a turbulent second liquid through a feed pipe opening into the second liquid whereby possibly undesirable reactions between the first liquid and any of the second liquid which may enter the feed pipe, are avoided.
- An example of an undesirable reaction of the abovementioned type is met with in the preparation of adipic acid by oxidation of cyclohexanol or cyclohexanone by means of nitric acid.
- the stream of cyclohexanol is passed through a feed pipe opening into a solution of adipic acid containing nitric acid, which is kept in turbulent motion.
- violent reactions may occur in the feed pipe.
- Such reactions may propagate rather rapidly through the feed pipe in the direction of the cyclohexanol storage tank and thus may cause serious explosion hazards.
- a more specific object is the provision of a novel way of obviating undesired and possibly violent reactions in systems of the type discussed above. It is a particular object of the invention to provide a novel way of avoiding undesired reactions in the preparation of adipic acid by oxidation of cyclohexanol or cyclohexanone despite pressure fluctuations or stoppage of the cyclohexanol or cyclohexanone feed. Other objects will also be apparent from the more detailed description of the invention which follows.
- the foregoing objects are realized, according to the invention, by modifying the above-described procedures for introducing one liquid through an inlet or feed pipe into a turbulent second liquid so as to include the step of passing an insert gas through the feed pipe and into the second liquid in conjunction with the first liquid. This procedure avoids entry of the second liquid into the feed pipe, either while the first liquid is flowing or when it has been stopped.
- a continuous body or stream or liquid moves through a feed pipe which is coupled into a pipe or vessel containing a turbulent body of a second liquid capable of undergoing an undesirable reaction with the first liquid, such as an explosion, by entering into the feed pipe, and a relatively slow stream of inert gas flows along with the liquid in the feed pipe.
- the flow of liquid in the feed pipe is maintained laminar or non-turbulent, and the slow speed of the inert gas stream permits the gas to flow along steadily in streamlines without inducing any turbulence.
- the feed pipe is, desirably, necked down at its entry point into the pipe or vessel containing the turbulent body of liquid, since this tends to minimize the quantity of gas required to prevent entrance of the second liquid into the feed pipe.
- the gas used may be any gaseous substance which does not, or at least not completely, dissolve in the first or the second liquid or produce an undesirable reaction with either liquid.
- adipic acid for instance, use may be made of air.
- the amount of gas fed in preferably should not be made too large, as this would cause the production of an undue amount of froth.
- a liquid typically cyclohexanol
- the cyclohexanol next passes through a feed pipe 2 and into a conduit 3 which conveys a turbulent liquid containing nitric acid.
- a nozzle 4 At the end of the feed pipe 2 there is a nozzle 4.
- a gas typically air, is supplied through conduit 5.
- the cyclohexanol or other liquid flows from a gravity feed tank 6 through a feed pipe 7.
- the latter includes a vertical taining nitric acid from entering the pipe, when the displacement pump was stopped; no reaction took place in the feed pipe.
- both the displacement pump and the air supply were stopped a violent reaction in the feed pipe enused within one minute.
- the process according to the invention is not restricted to the leading of cyclohexanol into a liquid containing nitric acid, but may be used in many procedures. It has been found, for instance, that good results may be obtained also when liquid cyclohexanone oxime is led into a tur bulent mixture of sulfuric acid and caprolactam. Thus, for example, nitrogen may be supplied together with the cyclohexanone oxime through a feed pipe opening into the mixture of acid and caprolactam. When the supply of oxime is stopped, no undesirable reaction between the oxime and the sulfuric acid occurs.
- a method for avoiding undesired reactions of a continuous body of a first liquid while introducing said first liquid as a feed stream into a turbulent body of a second liquid, said liquids causing an undesirable reaction when the second liquid enters the first liquid feed stream comprising feeding a stream of gas into the continuous body of said first liquid feed stream and feeding said stream of gas together with said first liquid toward the turbulent body of said second liquid, interrupting,
- a method for avoiding undesired reactions of a first liquid in a feed pipe which leads into a vessel containing a turbulent body of a second liquid, said liquids causing an undesired reaction when the second liquid enters the feed pipe comprising flowing a non-turbulent body of said first liquid through the feed pipe toward said vessel and introducing a relatively slow stream of inert gas into said feed pipe to flow steadily along with the non' turbulent body of said first liquid in streamline fashion without inducing any turbulence therein whereby said first liquid is introduced into said turbulent second liquid Without the occurrence of undesirable reactions and said second liquid is prevented from entering said feed pipe.
- a method as set forth in claim 2 including interrupting the flow of said first liquid in the feed pipe while continuing the flow of gas at sufficient velocity to prevent entry of said second liquid into the feed pipe.
- adipic acid by oxidation with nitric acid of a first liquid member selected from the group consisting of cyclohexanol and cyclohexanone where said first liquid member is fed into a turbulent solution of adipic acid containing nitric acid
- the method of avoiding undesired violent reactions while feeding said first liquid to said turbulent solution which comprises flowing said first liquid medium in the form of a non-turbulent feed toward the turbulent solution and introducing a relatively slow stream of inert gas into said first liquid medium in streamline fashion without introducing any turbulence therein whereby said first liquid medium is introduced into said turbulent solution without the occurence of undesirable violent reactions in said first liquid medium feed.
- liquid cyclohexanone oxime is fed into a turbulent mixture of sulfuric acid and caprolactam
- the method of avoiding undesired violent reactions while feeding liquid cyclohexanone oxime into said turbulent mixture which comprises flowing liquid cyclohexanone oxime in the form of a non-turbulent feed toward the turbulent mixture and introducing a relatively slow stream of inert gas into said cyclohexanone oxime in streamline fashion without introducing any turbulence therein whereby said cyclohexanone oxime is introduced into said turbulent mixture without the occurrence of undesirable violent reactions in said cyclohexanone oxime feed.
